BBC's 'Spooks' drops Zafar Younis

LONDON, July 25 (UPI) -- One of the stars of BBC's "Spooks," Raza Jaffrey, is expected to be killed off at the end of the fifth season of the show.

Jaffrey, 32, who plays Zafar Younis on the show, reportedly is being axed because her character couldn't be taken any further, the Daily Mirror reported Tuesday.

Jaffrey is the second star to leave the show during the season. Nicola Walker, who plays Ruth Evershed, quit after finding out that she was pregnant.
